Ah, okay. Otherwise the problem would've occurred immediately. Since the water doesn't heat up and the radiator doesn't either, the CPU block isn't properly seated. No CPU that is connected to something that takes up thermal mass, which is what the radiator does and the water serves as the transfer medium, immediately ramps up to 100°C. That indicates an improperly seated CPU block. Why didn't you re-seat that already when the other options have been ruled out already?

Another question. As you can see on the picture my cpu is running at 4,7 instead of 3,7 

 

is that supposed to be that way. I never over clocked it in any way.

Base clock vs. boost clock. The base clock is always overstepped when it has any sort of load. And 4.5GHz is close to the maximum boost clock, the maximum single-core boost clock being 4.7GHz. But given these thermals the clock speed is a little surprising to see.

Yes but I have no idea how to lower that, as the pc is not even running anything. It’s idling. 
 

when I touch the water cables I don’t feel any temperature yet. When I touch the cpu block I feel that it has heated up pretty good. What does that mean ?

Well, you're supposed to feel some temperature. The water transfer somehow doesn't seem to work appropriately. Maybe the pump has died because one of the tubes is supposed to get warm but apparently doesn't.

As I have no real idea of AIO watercooling or watercooling in general, I'd wait for someone else's input.

Did the problem with the high thermals suddenly start or did you move the PC around or whatever?

It started about 2 months ago. Then I moved to Europe and I just got my pc yesterday. Same problem, nothing changed. So I erased everything on my pc and started out new. It was going well ok for about 2 hours. Still way to less FPS but not as laggy. So yes it was recently moved around a lot

In which case you should definitely unmount the radiator and completely re-mount the CPU block instead of just tightening it down, because it does sound like the block isn't seated properly. Transport can make them loose.

Alright, does that mean I have to applie thermal paste as well ?
